COMMENT AND OPINION,

THE American Pathological Society having re

WHY should there be any longer delay about
adopting scientific and effectual system of
portunity for a work urgently demanded both
by national pride and by national interestl-New

If American free-traders would work half as
hard for the prosperity of their own country as
they do for that OF England they would-well
some of them would probably have further
financial relations with the English free trade
bureau.-Detroit Tribune.
HENRY GEORGE thinks ssfree soilr better
and more appropriate for his united labor
party. for the reason that it is the party of the
people-of the farmer well as the factory
operative. Still it would be queer name for
a party striving to burden the soil with every
tax levied under the sun.-Spring6eld Repub-
ican.
THERE is only one argument in favor of seat
ing Turpie, and that is that the Senate has not
the power to prevent itself from being corrupted
by such a gang of bandits as stand behind this
applicant for admission. And that argument is
simply moonshne. Turpie should be sent back
to his congenial associates in Indianapolis.

BOSSES" rule in politics because the people

ruptible. Corporations and capitalists use their
advantages because the people permit it. At
the bottom of the whole difficulty is lack of in
telligence, lack of honesty. lack of tearnestness
and independence among the people themselves.

WE insult our own liberties when we as a
nation, permit an unlicensed knave like Most to
utter such words to applauding ruffans and to
live in defiance of the vagrant laws The
fathers, in framing government, never
dreamed that such beasts as Most would have
an existence, and they did not prepare for his
coming. AS it is. code should be prepared for
him and his kind and they should all be con-
signed to silence as fast their rattles
sprung upon the coumtry.-Salt Lake Tribune.
ALL there is to attract the young voters. is
the respective records of the parties. Now the
Republican is still ''the grand old party" which
strangled rebellion, killed secession, freed the
slave, and preserved the Union, and the Demo
cratic party still bears the odium of largely
sympathizng with the public enemy. of giving
him sympathy and much aid. There is nothing
attractive to the young men of the country IN
the Democratic party. The great majority of
them should be Republicans. and they are
likely to be next ear.-Philadephia Telegraph.
GLADSTONE has shown long before this that he
possesses the ability to learn, to a high degree.
and that he has not the foible of thinking all
wisdom to be centered in himself. His ideas
will necessarily be modified, if not altered, and
if nothing else occurs he will learn the lesson of
home rule as shown by actual experience, and
will be able to present to Great Britain sym
metrical plan by which the control of local
affairs can be relegated to local assemblies, and
that without infringing in any way upon the SUI
premacy of the federal or imperial Parliament.
San Francisco Chronicle.
JUST so sure men use common speech and
think of the same common topics, just sure
will their thought become common one, their
beliefs akin and their religious aspirations flow
in sympathetic currents toward a common plane.
1t is utterly impossible for it to be otherwise.
And this is why we say that the future is to
all these various forms of belief, and the relig-
ious ideals of the race blend more and more into
a harmonious relation to each other-not dead
level of sameness, but apprehension of the
same basic truths according to the intellectual
and spiritual idiosyncraoiss of the various
families of man.-Kansas City Journal.
